Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is an acute hepatic inflammation associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment with steroids is known to decrease short-term mortality in severe AH patients. Hence, we hypothesize that adrenal insufficiency can be associated with severe AH and affects prognosis. The aim of this study was (1) to evaluate relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI) in patients with AH and (2) to Compare RAI with the severity of AH.
